STATUES REVISITED
In the design studio Atlas of Proposals, Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, artists-in-residence at BAC ART LAB, are working with architecture students on a current theme. This academic year, the studio is investigating the existing heritage of statues and works of art in the public space of Leuven. It systematically maps the statues and develops interventions and transformations to critically question their contemporary significance. The results are presented in the form of an exhibition and a catalog.
We are pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition on Thursday 11 May from 7 pm.
